Hi All,
I'm considering getting one of the lithium ion jump start batteries
(e.g., Weego, Antigravity, etc.) to have as a backup on board in case my house
batteries drain to the point where I can't start the engine. Although I do plan
to install a dedicated start battery at some point (the Blue Seas ACR and start
switch combo has been sitting in my basement for 2 years now), these small
lithium ion packs are very portable, have minimal charging loss over time, and
can also be used to charge on-board devices like phones and tablets. Just
wondering if anyone has tried starting one of our diesels (I have the Yanmar 3GM
but curious about any of the C320 inboards).
Thanks in advance,
LarryEasy
